McConnell Golf Takes Over Operations of RGA

April 4, 2016

McConnell Golf has expanded into public golf courses by signing a 10-year lease to operate the 27-hole Raleigh Golf Association course on Tryon Road. John McConnell, the founder and owner of the Raleigh-based company that owns a dozen private courses, said he’s long been fond of RGA.

McConnell hopes to add “a practice facility” at RGA that will include a driving range and an area for golfers to practice their short game. In addition, plans call for RGA to be the site for the first McConnell Golf Training Center. “We want to offer lessons at a very reasonable price to people wanting to learn the game,” McConnell said.

Hole-in-One !!

Congratulations to Greg Cherry, who aced the 109 yard hole #12 today. Greg’s ace was witnessed by Robert Keck, David Diaz, and John Tucker. You know they usually come in bunches, so get out and play RGA !!
